Just got back from attending the Detroit Jazz Festival where
my son Zak was featured in the “Jazz Talk Tent” interviewing jazz artists from Mali , Israel
and Azerbaijan .
The point of the interview was to discuss how people from such diverse
geographical areas wound up as jazz musicians, playing here in Detroit .
It was quite an interesting discussion and we as a nation
have to be proud, how an American musical invention has captivated the world
and has actually become an agent of peace, bringing together musicians from all
around the world to just play jazz …together…in peace and harmony.
I love jazz but am baffled how anyone can write actual jazz
pieces because it all sounds so impromptu and the drummers, wow how can they
drum so well without a steady beat?
It is always fun to watch a jazz audience because it is so
diverse and so different…
